Dr. Jacob and Mrs. Emilia decide to talk to Toby's parents.
Dr. Jacob calls Mr. George:-
"Hello George, it's me, Jacob."
"Oh hi Jacob, I was just trying to reach in call with you."
"Well then it's good I called haha. George I talked to Jessica and she says that she's fine with the marriage. Did you talk to Toby?"
"Yes I did. But Toby says that he doesn't want to marry Jessica, he wants to marry someone else. He's pretty firm of his decisions and pretty stubborn too so I don't really know what to do. Perhaps I'll have to force him for the marriage now."
"Well okay. I hope he agrees to your decision with time, eventually."
"Yes I hope so too."
"Okay bye George, talk to you later."
"Bye Jacob."

At Mr. Watson's house.
Toby walks into the room.
"Dad, who were you talking to?" Asks Toby, curiously.
"My dear son, I was talking to your future father-in-law." Said Mr. Watson.
"Dad I've already told you before that I don't want to marry Jessica....why don't you understand that!?" Said Toby.
Mr. Watson alters the pitch of his voice and says in a cross tone, "Toby! I'm your father.......and Sandra is your mother......I think that you're forgetting that and being your parents, we have the absolute right to choose for you the perfect bride. You shall learn to agree to our decisions and if you don't, I'm afraid my son, we'll have to overthrow you from our heirance and I'm sure that you won't want that to happen, will you?

Toby leaves the room.
He goes into his room and calls Julia:-
"Hello Julia"
"Hi Toby. How are you?"
"Not fine Julia, today dad called Mr. Watson and he told me that he has the absolute right to choose a bride for me. He says that if I don't agree to his decisions, he'll subvert me from his heirance."
"Oh jeez.....that's terrible. Do you know what Toby? I have an idea."
"Really?? What idea?"
"You can get engaged to Jessica and marry her too but, on the first day of your wedding, at night, you can murder Jessica? How about that? Then you can marry me eventually and your parents shan't mind?"
"That's a horrible idea Julia.....what will I tell my parents that where did Jessica go......what will I tell her parents and where will I bury her?"
"Oh you can tell them that she slipped on her clothes in the middle of the night and she took all her belongings and went away and she didn't stop when you tried to stop her. Jessica was my classmate and I know her handwriting. I can write very like Jessica.....perhaps, people can't even make distinction of our hands....you can bury her in the forest outside your house."
"Great idea Jessica but I'm not so sure if we should actually put the plan to work. What'll you write in the letter?"
"My dear Toby, that you'll get to know with time." Said Julia, laughing devilishly.
"Haha okay Jessica, great.....now no one can stop us from getting married."
"Yess Toby, no one can. Now go and tell your dad that you pondered over his descision and you've come to the conclusion that you'll marry Jessica."
"Okay sure Julia......Bye....I love you."
" love you too, bye."

Toby leaves his room and goes to his parents who are sitting in the garden and enjoying the weather.
"Mom, dad," he says, "I had thought over your descision and have come to the conclusion that I will marry Jessica."
Both parents burst into intense happiness.
"Really Toby, are you serious? I'm so happy!" Says Sandra.
"Yes mom, I'm serious as hell!" Says Toby.
"I'm proud of you my son, I'm glad." Mr. Watson says patting at Toby's head.
"Mom and dad.......you both can go to Dr. Jacob's house and talk to him about Jessica and my marriage. I think that we should plan out the engagement pretty soon." Says Toby.
"Yes George, Toby is totally right......we should go and talk to them." Says Sandra.
"Okay Sandra......I'll go and call Jacob so that we can go to his house and fix the date." Says Mr. Watson.

Mr.Watson calls Jacob.
"Hello Jacob.......we're coming to your house.......Toby is ready for the marriage, we should fix the dates for the wedding and engagement."
"This is amazing. Yes George.....come over today.....I'll be waiting. Bring Toby too."
"Yes I will. Bye Jacob."
"Bye George."

The Watson family goes to the house of the Parker family.
They fix the dates for the marriage and engagement.
"It's the 31st of May today........we can have the engagement on the 7th of June and we may have the wedding on the 4th of July......it surely is a blessed day for America.....is it okay?" Says Jacob.
"Yes these dates are perfect." Says George.

7 days later:-
It's the 7th of June and it's Toby and Jessica's engagement ceremony.
The engagement ceremony goes on pretty smoothly.
There are now 27 days left for the wedding.
Both the Watson family and the Parker family are busy in the wedding arrangements.
